Graffiti demonstration on my truck and a few tips

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:05:36 +0000

I met with GRS (Graffiti Removal Services) and we did a little graffiti demonstration. I tagged up the body of my truck and their product took it off very easily. Additionally, I talk about the importance of working with the city, talking to police, and working together to cover graffiti within 24 hours of when it occurs.

Let me say that I feel like such a dork to have misspelled “neighbor” in the video, but that’s life isn’t it? (especially after only 2-3 hours of sleep the night before).

How does tagging make you feel? Has your neighborhood or community had a graffiti problem? Big or small? Have you seen anyone attempt to do something about it? If you could say anything to a tagger, what would you say?

Note: This is not an advertisement. Products like this can empower residents – that’s all. A more complete video demonstration is coming soon.

What does it mean to be a good neighbor?

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:18:53 +0000

Do you think a close-knit community has the potential to impact real estate values? Do you think if people in a community get intentional about being good neighbors can affect local real estate?

Let’s pause for a minute and think about an important question. What does it mean to be a good neighbor? Our society often doesn’t ask this question because we are so busy doing so many other things. Let’s take a minute though and kick this question around. I’d love to hear your comments and stories below.

This video features local real estate appraiser Ryan Lundquist of www.LundquistCompany.com. Ryan recently began Good Neighbor TV at www.goodneighborTV.comto be a resource to discuss community, tips and improving neighborhoods.

Hijacked Naked Appraisers

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:09:06 +0000

Hear about HVCC, appraiser fees and some important industry news. You might not think it’s a big deal if appraisers are getting jipped out of money from AMCs, but watch the video. If you are in the real estate field, what do you think the impact is when appraisers don’t get paid enough?

Have you run into real estate agents like this?

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:02:31 +0000

The video is kind of funny because it typifies a real estate agent that sticks to clever marketing sayings, but doesn’t really know anything . Have you ever run into real estate agents like this? On a serious note, what does a video like this say about marketing online?

Neighborhood beautification happens one step at a time

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:51:31 +0000

What does it look like for a community to improve its image? What can residents do to help their neighborhood look better and even increase property values?

Check out what one neighborhood did last week in Rancho Cordova.

Leadership Rancho Cordova Class of 2010 took on a wall project in the Cordova Towne / White Rock area. They raised funds and had very nice brick columns installed along the entire stretch north of Highway 50 on Mather Field Road to Croydon Way.

On August 21, 2010 both residents of the Cordova Towne / White Rock area and members of Leadership Rancho Cordova painted the strech of the wall. You’ll likely notice that we did not cut the corners in with paint because that’ll be done this week by an actual paint contractor.

Residents also purchased plants with funds provided by Leadership Rancho Cordova and revamped the flower beds at the corner pillars on Croydon Way & Mather Field.

Are neighborhood parks important to you?

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:13:28 +0000

How important is a vibrant park to you when hunting for a home? Would you consider an area without a park?

The Cordova Recreation & Park District broke ground on White Rock Park in Rancho Cordova on August 20, 2010. In attendance were CRPD officials, Councilmember Robert McGarvey, Supervisor Don Nottoli, and various CRPD Board Members as well as architects and construction representatives. This park has been long neglected, so it is a joy to see a revitalization occurring.

In the video above, David Edmunds, the District Administrator and CEO was interviewed by local real estate appraiser Ryan Lundquist of www.LundquistCompany.com.

Residents in the White Rock area have been meeting with CRPD over the past several years and working hard to advocate for this park. We can rejoice in these improvements, but we can also be proud of the way we acheived these results too. We interacted with CRPD in a very cordial and cooperative spirit. We had very strong and emotional feelings about this park, but we sought to suspend judgment and work to get results.

Thank you CRPD, The City of Rancho Cordova, and White Rock / Cordova Towne area residents who made this day possible.

Why NOW is a GREAT Time to Buy: Realtor Gena Riede

Sacramento Tube Admin - Ryan Lundquist — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:15:04 +0000

Sacramento Realtor, Gena Riede has never seen such low interest rates which and with so many Sacramento homes for sale, this makes for a great time for home buyers to buy a house. Some home buyers will find that when they buy a house, their payment is actually lower than what they are currently paying for rent. WOW!

And if you are a homeowner who is lucky enough to have equity, this is the BEST time for you to refinance. You will NEVER need to refinance again!
